Desert Eagles: S.P.Q.R.

In the year 54 B.C. Marcus Lucinius Crassus led an army of 40,000 Romans in Parthia. A force of barely 10,000 men faced him, and yet at the city of Carrhae, the course of history was altered. This smaller Parthian force annihilated the Roman army. Crassus was killed, destroying the balance of power that held Gaius Julius Caeser and Pompey the Great from tearing at each others throats.

Yet Crassus could and should have won the battle. He had been offered the help of an additional army of 40,000 men but had declined the offer. He was offered an invasion path that would have avoided much of the desert, yet he declined that route.

What would have happened if Crassus had not invaded over the entire sand-barren width of Parthia but instead had invaded through Armenia, like the Armenian King had offered along with another army of 40,000 men? Would he have won the battle? Would Parthia have fallen? Would the Republic still have fallen to Ceaser?

From the author who brought you a Confederate victory in the American Civil War in "The Rise of the Confederacy Trilogy" comes "Desert Eagles" which explores one such possibility!
